Luc 19:29 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:29

And it came to pass when he was come nigh
The other evangelists, Matthew and Mark, add "unto Jerusalem"; but this Luke designs afterwards, ( Luke 19:37 ) and therefore here means, as is expressed, that he was come nigh

to Bethphage and Bethany;
two tracts of land which reached from Mount Olivet to Jerusalem; so that when he was there, he was nigh unto the city:

at the mount, called [the Mount] of Olives;
or "Elaion", as the Ethiopic version, which retains the Greek word for it; and which has its name from the great number of olive trees that grew upon it:

he sent two of his disciples;
their names are not mentioned by any of the evangelists, but it is very probable they were Peter and John; of the places here mentioned; (See Gill on Matthew 21:1).

Luc 19:29 In-Context

27 Au reste, amenez ici mes ennemis, qui n'ont pas voulu que je régnasse sur eux, et tuez-les en ma présence.
28 Après avoir ainsi parlé, Jésus marcha devant la foule, pour monter à Jérusalem.
29 Lorsqu'il approcha de Bethphagé et de Béthanie, vers la montagne appelée montagne des oliviers, Jésus envoya deux de ses disciples,
30 en disant: Allez au village qui est en face; quand vous y serez entrés, vous trouverez un ânon attaché, sur lequel aucun homme ne s'est jamais assis; détachez-le, et amenez-le.
31 Si quelqu'un vous demande: Pourquoi le détachez-vous? vous lui répondrez: Le Seigneur en a besoin.
